Vitamin E Found To Prevent Muscle Damage After Heart Attack from Natural Blaze
GNN Note – The appropriate diet and nutrients will keep us away from the doctor or hospitals or any need for medical attention. Look at our grandparents and great grandparents, they rarely had need for a doctor or hospital. Why? Because they grew their own food and could only eat what was seasonal, local and organic – NonGMO. They didn’t run down to the store to get the latest batch of poison called food.

Published in Redox Biology, the pre-clinical study sheds new light on the potential of the acute therapy with α-TOH (vitamin E) in patients presenting with heart attack, and may ultimately offer an effective low-cost treatment.
“One of the most effective anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents is vitamin E and its derivatives,” said Professor Karlheinz Peter, the Baker Institute’s Deputy Director, Basic and Translational Science and lead author of the study.
“Our treatment regime reflects clinical conditions, where patients could receive their first application of vitamin E in the ambulance or upon their arrival in the emergency department, before reopening and stenting the blocked vessel and the following days in hospital before discharge.”
Our next step is to test an already approved formulation of Vitamin E in patients admitted with a heart attack,” said Professor Peter. “We plan to prove that heart function is preserved using sensitive magnetic resonance imaging. Thereby, we hope to establish an inexpensive and effective therapy for patients with heart attack.”
Nutritional scientist and vitamin specialist from Jena University in Germany, Dr Maria Wallert said interestingly, Vitamin E has been trialled unsuccessfully for preventing heart attacks but has not been investigated for actually treating heart attacks.
